I genuinely hope this show is a hit and gets more seasons/episodes. The characters are fun, the voice acting is good, beautiful animation, and song that will get stuck in your head. But hey, they are great songs so no complaints here!
I can already see my daughter internalizing the messages of some of these episodes. And I am so happy that this show tackles topics that may be uncomfortable for some. Cultural appropriation/ignorance and changing bodies (in the episode is about losing baby teeth but could also be interpreted as growing up in general/puberty) are right there along with learning patience and cheating being wrong. It is never too early to introduce these concepts to young ones and the show does a great job framing these issues from a child's perspective. Not to mention gives great examples as to how to navigate these social situations and problems.
I want to see what else a show like this can do. It is a welcome entry to the rotation of children's programming we keep which includes: Magic School Bus, Wild Kratts, Molly of Denali, Arthur, and Sesame St.
Give it a watch folks!
